Description

In the midst of the ever faster changing world of the years after the Second World War, the artists and craftsmen of Art Deco sought to find a new formal language that would be appropriate for the new era. They rejected the formal language of Art Nouveau, which they found too sweet, too transfigured, and sought geometric rigor. This alone seemed appropriate for the age of automobiles, skyscrapers and express trains. The present ring also appears geometric. A sparkling square of diamonds set on a point contains a dark blue sapphire set in platinum. The ring band is set below the ring face and does not disrupt the strictly geometric shape. The strict impression is only broken when the ring is viewed from the side and especially from the back. Here, invisible to the distant observer and created solely for the wearer's pleasure, the hard platinum of the ring is transformed into small flower tendrils and leaves. The interplay between the joy of geometry and the moving shapes allows us to date the ring to the early years of Art Deco. Completely white, with only a blue center, the ring speaks the design language of the early 1920s. We discovered the very well-preserved and beautiful ring here in Berlin.
